Aloe Blacc - Soldier in the City lyrics

[Intro] Soldier in the city, soldier in the city Soldier in the city, soldier in the city [Verse 1] No job to occupy my time What else you expect me to do except cry? It ain't stealin' if it's someone else's find Refuse to lose with this trouble on my mind Johnny Law come messin' down my door Well the police don't scare me anymore I been in that back seat so many times before [Chorus] Soldier in the city, I'm a soldier in the city Soldier in the city, I'm a soldier in the city [Verse 2] Tryna make some cheese outta all of these things Wanna find a queen but all I'm seein' is tramps Every day feels like I'm away at boot camp Tight a** little kids bustin' down the street lamp Neighbourhood hustler come knockin' at my door Gotta pay my debts, need to settle the score Cause I don't want no more trouble from these fellas anymore [Chorus] x2 [Bridge] Can ya hear me marchin'? Left, left, left, right, left Fight to survive, try to stay alive You can hear me marchin' Left, left, left, right, left Fight to survive, try to stay alive Can ya hear me marchin'? Left right left Don't ya know [Chorus] (Left, left, left, right, left)
